Creepy talking 'thinking' robot. Actually pretty incredible- this guy actually sits and has a conversation with it, and it's not per-determined responses either; it's actually learning!!

    Boy, he/it is WAY scarier than the Terminator. That robot could kill with a smile, with enough time. With a warm smile.

    Being of the Asimovian school myself, I reckon robots need not, as such, pose a threat to humanity. When governed by the three laws of robotics,


    <center>1
    A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
    2
    A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
    3
    A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws. </center>


    a robot's brain couldn't possibly conceive dangerous thoughts, unless for the greater good of mankind some suffering is mandatory. This is expressed in the zeroth law:


    <center>0
    A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm.</center>


    For example, the more a robot learns about our world and our race, the more it might consider the painless destruction of a substantial portion of humanity a necessary deed. Overpopulation is, after all, an issue which a robot may objectively process, since most of us seem unable to anyway.


    Praised be you, Dr. Asimov!

    What robots lacks is - soul.

    That's not different from many humans.

    I even think that a programmed soul can and will be better than the twisted souls of certain people.
